I think Kyrie Irving is going to benefit a ton from LeBron's presence. I think his efficiency will skyrocket.

Will the Heat retire LBJ's number ? Probably not, but who knows ?

Where's the "it's complicated" option? I still hate Lebron but I'm a big fan of David Blatt, which means if I want Blatt to succeed I have to root for Lebron to succeed as well. fml...

I feel like MIA fans never gave him that, and also it was very evident during the finals how committed and passionate the fans were as they left the game with plenty of time left. Maybe LeBron also misses having a passionate crowd behind him?


You serious? I knew life long Heat fans that had to choose keeping LeBron over keeping Wade. It came to that point where he was absolutely adored him in Miami. I don't know what you're talking about. Not every Heat fan can attend the games, I hope you realize that. The ones that walked out on the team don't represent the whole fan base.


I''m sure there were plenty of faithful Heat fans, but in CLE LeBron basically had the ENTIRE STATE OF OHIO treating him like that

What's amazing is that this will be the first time in a long time that LeBron will have some cover in not winning a title every year. He set this up as something he's building. Not promising a title was brilliant in that way.

dautjazz wrote:Hypocrisy of Heat fans that bashed Cavs fans and the owner for their reactions to Lebron leaving, now calling Lebron a loser, ring chaser, etc.. Oh and we need to dig up the posts of Cavs fans bashing Lebron when he made the decision to go to Miami. As a Jazz fan, and Lebron fan (favorite player), I'm happy he signed in Cleveland, because Wade and Bosh were not good 2nd 3rd options anymore, not to mention the only supporting cast he basically had, well the occasional showing of Ray Allen too. Much better team in Cleveland.


Not to mention them bashing Celtics fans for their reactions to Judas Shuttlesworth jumping ship.

Anyway, good for Cleveland fans that LeBron is coming home. And for Minny, given that they will probably also benefit by trading Love for Wiggins.

Is Wiggins supposed to play tonight? Cavs vs Bucks at 8. Wanted to see Wiggins vs Parker. If he doesnt play does that basically mean hes getting traded for Love? any other reason he wouldnt play

Good for LeBron. I like this move and think it's the best choice he could have made to patch up his image as well as winning more championships. The Heat were in a sticky situation due to Wade, so this seemed like the best course of action.
